The big day has arrived. How can progressives win in Makerfield?

Sneak peek at what our poll reveals in this exclusive Guardian feature 👉

17/06/2026

🚨 73% of Makerfield voters have heard about Robert Kenyon's comments about women and Carol Vorderman. And the verdict is damning.

Our poll, covered by the Manchester Evening News, shows that among those who've heard the reports, 45% say it makes them less likely to vote for Kenyon.

In a race this tight, that could make a big difference to Reform UK's chances.

But this didn't happen by accident.

Forward Democracy volunteers have been out on the ground in Makerfield supporting Hope Not Hate's letter distribution campaign, getting Carol Vorderman's personal message directly into the hands of women across the constituency. Street by street. Door by door. In all weathers.

That work is showing up in the data. Voters have heard this story, and it's making them think twice about Reform UK.

Polling day is tomorrow. If you know anyone in Makerfield who is still undecided, please share the article in the comments below, today.

Let's make sure as many voters as possible know what Robert Kenyon and Reform UK really think about women. 👇

🚨 It’s too close to call in Makerfield!
We commissioned the biggest survey of local voters so far, and it shows this race is still wide open with just days to go.
🔴 Burnham (Labour): 46%
➡️ Kenyon (Reform UK): 41%
A 5% point gap. That's the margin of error too. It's too close to call.

Tactical voting could be critical to stopping Reform in Makerfield.
Help us keep the pressure up by chipping in to our campaign. 👇

The tactical vote to stop Reform in Makerfield is Labour - Andy Burnham

It's time to come together and stop Reform once more!

"In Gorton & Denton, the tactical vote to stop Reform was for the Greens - and we said so. In Makerfield, the tactical choice is clearly Andy Burnham. He has the best chance of stopping Reform this time, and that's why StopReformuk.vote are recommending progressive voters in Makerfield lend their vote to Andy on 18th June."
— Tom de Grunwald, Director of Forward Democracy

The majority in this country isn’t small – it’s just divided.

The recent election results gave us a clear warning: our broken voting system allows a minority to win power on a fraction of the vote, simply because the rest of us are fragmented across different parties.

In a row of 6 houses, if 2 coordinate and 4 don't, the 2 win every time. We think it’s time to stop letting the minority decide the future for the rest of us.

We have joined Compass to demand that party leaders put cooperation above short-term gains. It’s time for "tactical reassurance."

Stand with the majority. Sign the letter: https://forwarddemocracy.com/neighbourhood
